I received this book in a Librarything early reviewers giveaway. I found this to be a really interesting read. This story gives us a rare look into the life of a refugee family. The heartbreak of leaving family behind. The fear and danger of fleeing a country ravaged by war. A childs view of settling in a new country. I hope a lot of people read this book. The people in our world need to understand one another and have compassion for each other books like this one help us to reach those goals. highly recommend. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. This book is a terrifying account of just how twisted life in the Middle East is for women. It’s heart-wrenching yet empowering at the same time. What I wish the book had is more of her backstory to see what her life was like prior to her fame. That would give her struggle a more human connection. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I had never heard of Mozhdah before. The book was easy to read. I would like to know more of the back story of the Taliban. The book covers how in danger she was but not really how horrible the Taliban is and why she was in such danger. Also, she didn't believe she was in danger which seems weird to me. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I thought this was a great book. It is a biography but is written in the style of a novel. I learned more about Afghan and how women are treated there and in the Middle East. One criticism I have is that it is difficult to keep track of Mozhdah's age as the book progresses. We know her age at the beginning when her family flees Afghanistan, but as years go by and she becomes famous for her music and television show, it is difficult to determine her age at different phases of her career and rise in popularity. I received this book as an early reviewer copy from Library Thing. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
The first-ever biography of Mozhdah Jamalzadah: refugee, pop singer, and champion of women's rights. Many have tried to silence her, but Mozhdah Jamalzadah remains the most powerful female voice of her generation in Afghanistan, boldly speaking out about women's rights. Voice of Rebellion charts her incredible journey, including arriving in Canada as a child refugee, setting her father's protest poem to music (and making it a #1 hit), performing that song for Michelle and Barack Obama, and, finally, being invited to host her own show in Afghanistan. The Mozhdah Show earned her the nickname "The Oprah of Afghanistan" and tackled taboo subjects like divorce and domestic violence for the first time in the country's history. But even as her words resonated with women and families, Mozhdah received angry death threats--some of them serious--and was eventually advised to return to Canada. Traversing Central Asia and North America, Voice of Rebellion profiles a devoted singer and activist who continues to fight for change, even from afar.

This book was a bit slow to start. It spent a lot of time on the families escape to Canada, but then skimmed over Mozhdah's teen and adult years. It felt like it was lacking details about her adult life. I would have liked to learn more about Mozhdah's fight for women's rights but those passages seemed very brief and lacked detail. Overall, 3 out of 5 stars. ( )
